May held A LOT. There was our 17th wedding anniversary, a drive-in date, watching the coronation, getting POURED ON biking home from a baseball game, lots of zoo trips, Mother's Day, EVERYTHING that comes with the end of the school year, our first camping trip of 2023, Memorial Day weekend, the beginning of summer and a trip to Kings Island. Which should have happened yesterday but I am writing this before that so I am just going to assume that we had a wonderful time and no kids were traumatized by roller coasters this year.
Looking back:

Books finished: 11, May is crazy, 11 feels like an accomplishment!

Currently watching: Should be finishing up Ted Lasso this weekend and then I don't know what's next!
Most read post this month: April Reading Recap followed by Fizzy Flamingo (I am still baffled this that is, by double, my post read drink post).
Luke's current favorite song: "Sweet Child o' Mine" by Guns n' Roses
Sam's current favorite song: "We Will Rock You" by Queen
June is full summer, camping, Father's Day, sleeping in, more reading? We'll see! Happy we're still at the start of summer!
